Our research program has several graduate positions available, and I am hoping you can distribute the advertisements to eligible students. As we have both M.Sc. and Ph.D. opportunities, it would be worthwhile to distribute them to undergraduate students and M.Sc. students. I have attached PDFs for each position as well as one that briefly summarizes all projects. If you would like to include them on a webpage or e-newsletter, I can provide you with Word copies. If I should be contacting someone other than you, please let me know and I will reach out to them.
